Hi! That’s my forst post here, don’t be too strict :slight_smile:

I saw many people who were struggling to analyze, what’s taking up space in Home Assistant. We have Quick Start to Home Assistant Data Science | Home Assistant Data Science Portal - but… That’s a bit complex even for me, with my 20 years of web developent.

So I decided to make my own addon, anyway I thought it will be a fun experience.

So, meet DbStats - addon with several simple charts to make things clear.
Installation instructions are here - https://github.com/jehy/hass-addons/tree/master/dbstats .Addon works with mysql/maria, postgres and sqlite.

One of the charts for example:

BTW, it’s built using Node.JS, TypeScript, React and MUI.
Feel free to use, test, star and contrubute.

Yup. Also, we can add any other charts, it’s really simple with addon.

Nice, how about a deep dive into the long term, as you can see, thats 5-6 times bigger than the rest of my db

Very nice. Makes me want to stop using MariaDB. Though it would be a chore to convert my SQL sensors.

How do I integrate this for Mariadb and Influxdb? The log shows “exec /init: exec format error”. Not quite sure what to put in the config options connectionString* area.

Thanks for this nice add-on! For total noobs like me, it would be useful to add the default connection string in the doc (sqlite:////homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db).

Just run it on the DB and apparently the persistent_notification domain is by far the largest event source. I didn’t even realise I was using this. Any idea where I can start digging to reduce this?

I moved my database to the share folder, how do I configure the addon to look for the db in the correct place?

The default connection string in the configuration is sqlite:////homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db, you should adapt this to use the location you set.

I tried:

/share/ha_db/home-assistant_v2.db

and

sqlite:////share/ha_db/home-assistant_v2.db

None worked
